Bon Me

Truckin’ Forward

The Restaurant-ification of Bon Me

Food trucks tend to find their way into buildings in two ways. One: drive at top speed
and crash through a wall like the Kool-Aid man. Two: open a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Well, good news:
beloved mobile purveyor of Vietnamese deliciousness Bon Me has just done the latter in Kendall
Square. Below: three things to know about it.

It looks like the truck. Sorta.There’s a wall painted sky-blue like the truck.
There’s gleaming white tile behind the counter. And there are touches of stainless steel by way of the 16
seats and two-top tables (try not to growl and guard your lunch if someone sits down to share a
table).

Speaking of dinner...With the new digs comes more room to frolic and play while
cooking, so expect experimental dinner specials to go with the dinner hours (they’re open till 10pm).
Think: soba noodle salad with spice-rubbed chicken, ideal for taking out to the patio to enjoy the fine
Cambridge air while dining.
